Pristina gas station #1
Submitted by arnd@powerpaint... on Fri, 15/09/2006 - 7:35pm.


This is the first (or the last) gasstattion at the highway from prishtina to the border of Kosovo with Macedonia.
A couple of years ago the gasstation bussiness on this route got a tax stimulation.
The result is a wildgrowth of gasstations allsorts. Including popular brand copies, UN checkpoinnt style and even whole shopping mall styles.
I shot them all with my cmera and will upload/make them in a compilation mozaique.
Perhaps even into a memory game.
What would happen in a changing economy? Will all of them (43 on a Amsterdam-Rotterdam stretch) survive?
Or just a few?
Might be an interesting motive to go back to Kosovo again.
Also my car got a great tuning at the mechanic with that juicy apple tree in the yard.

Nice picture. Cool. I hope
Nice picture. Cool. I hope to see all your pics there. I guess the gas business will plummet because of rising prices. The malls there would follow. Though I'm sure a chosen few will survive. Not everyone survives a sudden saturation in the market save the tough ones.
